No more unhealthy packed lunches
A Chicago school has banned kids from bringing packed lunches to school unless a student has a medical note to bring his/her packed lunch to school. The school has banned packed lunches because of students bringing lunches that are high in calories, fats, and more these are called UNHEALTHY LUNCHES! So the school sells lunch that is healthy for every student BUT the child must pay for the lunch even if packed lunches are banned. This will help kids to start eating healthy. More and more schools will join the move in banning packed lunches in the future to stop the rise in obesity in the schools

What happens if the child can not afford the school lunches? I don't think the school has the right to prevent a child from eating something they brought from home. Banning unhealthy food and bagged lunches is denying children their freedom. Is the school going to continue to police what the children eat when they are not at school? I think that Chicago school is overstepping the boundary a bit. They should not have to right to make a child buy food from the school cafeteria.
